4.0 out of 5 stars
Loved this as a kid!,
By "bethputnam" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hail Columbia (Library Binding)
I read this book in 6th grade, along with almost all of the realated books. This one always had a special place in my heart. A young girl is visited by her very radical aunt. For the time, her aunt is quite revolutionary as she doesn't wear a corset, didn't take her husband's name and crusades against liquor. The aunt introduces her neice to ideas of suffrage, temperance and racial tolerance through her crusades. As a girl, it was amazing to see how much has changed for women in this country and get an inside look at what it took to create that change. Imagine my surprise to discover that it would have been unheard of to eat rice in America if you weren't Chinese! This book really broadens your perspective, while being funny and exciting.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Beatty at her best,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hail Columbia (Library Binding)
As always, Beatty's characters are incredibly memorable while her story draws you in. Aunt Columbia, a suffragette who stirs things up in late nineteenth-century Astoria, is the kind of aunt everyone wishes they had---regardless of the time period in which they live!
